Playboy Germany Admits It Misquoted Ennio Morricone in Interview

"Up to now, we have considered the freelancer who conducted the Ennio Morricone interview on our behalf to be a renowned print and radio journalist," Boitin said in a statement. "In the past, we have had no reason to doubt his journalistic integrity and skills. Based on the information now at our disposal, we must unfortunately assume that the words spoken in the interview have, in part, been reproduced incorrectly. We would like to express our regret should Mr. Morricone have been portrayed in a false light. We are working to clarify this matter and are exploring legal measures."

Original post:

Looks like he won't be doing the music for Once Upon a Time in Hollywood. He did an interview with the German Playboy and torched Tarantino:

Plot Twist:

Morricone says the interview never happened:

"This is totally false," the 90 year-old composer said in a statement released Sunday. "I have not given an interview to Playboy Germany and even more, I have never called Tarantino a cretin and certainly do not consider his films garbage. I have given a mandate to my lawyer in Italy to take civil and penal action."

Meh

 

[Poppy]

well that will make quentin sad

 

[Count of Monte Sawed-Off]

Not holding back there.

[Vas]

It sounds like someone is bitter about business and is trying to make it personal.

 

[Deleted member 13798]

This is pretty mild honestly, I wouldn't rule him out doing another score for one of his films either.

 

[Deleted member 15440]

get his ass

 

[Emmert]

Damn. Go off.

 

[Jiraiya]

Well in my era....

 

[CreepingFear]

I laughed. Not sure I detect any lies, but I still enjoy Q's movies.

 

[Strike]

Shots fired

 

[Manu]

Of course Tarantino steals, the thing is that he's both really open about it and he does it very well. So how is that supposed to be a burn.

 

[Deleted member 7082]

He put his foot in his mouth, but that's a turn on for Tarantino.

 

[Deleted member 2145]

he's just doing the typical "he's not original!!" thing that's been said hundreds of times at this point

boring

 

[Robdraggoo]

Tarantino am cry.

Seriously. Must suck to have one of your heroes rail on you like that.

 

[FuturusX]

I was expecting some out of context quotes....yikes.

 

[Rassilon]

'He just steals from others and puts it together'


Does he not recall working on Fistful of Dollars, a literal shot-for-shot copy of Yojimbo

 

[BocoDragon]

Now that's a one-sided relationship.........

I would imagine 90% of people under 40 only know of Morricone because of Tarantino's love letters to him in film homage and interviews.

I don't think this looks good for Morricone. People like Tarantino's films. By all means don't do work for the man but then trashing him in public... eh...

 

[oneida]

coming from someone who worked with Leone for so long, his comments about originality and theft are pretty damning. Morricone has seen homage

 

[feyder]

He ain't lie

Score sure as hell wasn't

 

[MinusTydus]

Reminder of how Tarantino forced Uma Thurman to do her own driving stunts, which resulted in a wreck... and then he refused to turn over the footage to her for years.



Stop stanning for this person just because you like his films. He could have killed her. He's garbage.

 

[ExInferus]

didn't he praise The Hateful Eight?

 

[FormatCompatible]

 

[digitalrelic]

This is a bad look for Morricone more than anything.

 

[Adam Sadler]

I'm curious to hear more about why he says he isn't a director

 

[Ridley327]

This is so similar to his comments around the time of Django Unchained that I had to do a double take to make sure that they weren't the same ones from back then.

 

[Doc Holliday]

I love ennio, but dude you worked on a Yoyimbo remake.... .

 

[Lys Skygge]

I like Ennio, but that's pretty shitty of him to say.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Lmao

 

[Opto]

Like, out of everything possible reason to call Tarantino a cretin, he goes from that direction....

 

[Tempy]

This is a bad look for Morricone more than anything.

...not really. Everybody's focused on his opinion of Tarantino's movies (which I do enjoy), but he has a point about unreasonable work demands and Tarantino being a cretin.

 

[NealMcCauley]

Morricone's never really been one to hold back.

 

[Qasiel]

I'd heard previously that their working relationship was pretty bad so I can't say I'm surprised by Morricone's view of him.

You gonna post what both she said and he said about this? Or does that not fit your narrative?

 

[Deleted member 2317]

Hes not the first or last to say so, and he's not exactly wrong.

But that dialog? That scene work? No one can take it from him. That's QT's genius.

Right on, not saying it diminishes the film, and of course the score is fantastic.

Perhaps to say that Tarantino using homage in film makes him a cretin is a bit much.

Does sound like a jerk move to ask for score within an obscene deadline

LOL I know. My exact first thought.

Literally nothing is original in film/TV when you get down to the deepest possible analysis. You'd have to really really go back, and even then loads of it would be taken from other inspirations and sources.

 

[Puck Beaverton]

Burt Reynolds said the same thing about PT Anderson. I thinks it's more these directors have huge egos when they're just emulating older filmmakers.

Anderson is better than Tarantino btw

Um, that's not mild.

 

[PlasmaRTD]

My life is complete. The greatest composer of the 20th century just topped himself

 

[cyba89]

Meh. This sounds like a weak rant from a rando on ERA or something.

BTW off topic, but it is hilarious that both Burt Reynolds and Mark Wahlberg have talked mad shit about Boogie Nights, when it was actually their best performances and the best movie they've ever been in.

 

[angelgrievous]

Morricone just shot himself in the foot.

I don't know how much the rest of you know about Hollywood culture (I'm an expert), but honor and shame are huge parts of it. It's not like it is in the rest of the country where you can become successful by being an asshole. If you screw someone over in Hollywood, you bring shame to yourself, and the only way to get rid of that shame is repentance.

What this means is the Hollywood big wigs, after hearing about this, is not going to want to work with Morricone, nor will they promote any of his work. This is HUGE. You can laugh all you want, but Morricone has alienated an entire market with this move.

Ennio, publicly apologize and work on Once Upon A Time In Hollywood for free or you can kiss your business goodbye.

 

[Carnby]

I believe it. Reservoir Dogs is a blatant rip off of City on Fire.

 

[AuthenticM]

and then he refused to turn over the footage to her for years.

It's been established that that wasn't him. Uma said so herself.
